To make the first step into our new world, here are sponsorship and the lead designers:
SponsorshipEach team will be offered a main sponsorship contract by two sponsors at the start of the season, which will pay certain amounts of money, depending on which driver the team hires. The two sponsors are assigned a Primary Target Region and a Secondary Target Region. Any team may retain the chosen sponsor two times, however, this time around, all sponsors were assigned fully randomly. There are three possible driver choices.
Primary Target Region - The main focus of the sponsor's advertisement interests. Hiring a driver from this region will pay out
€50,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC,
€35,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and
€15,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.
Secondary Target Region - The secondary focus of the sponsor's advertisement interests. Hiring a driver from this region will pay out
€35,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC,
€25,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and
€5,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.
No Paydriver - The sponsor will support you without asking for anything but a spot on your car and in your team name. Not hiring a driver from either region will pay out
€15,000,000 for teams finishing in P10 to P13 in last year's WCC,
€5,000,000 for teams finishing in P5 to P9 in last year's WCC and new teams and
€2,000,000 for teams finishing in P1 to P4 in last year's WCC.
Any Target Region driver must compete in all Grand Prix weekends of the respective Alternate Formula One season, unless injury or bans prevent a driver under contract to appear in a race. A driver from a Target Region condition can be released, as long as he is replaced with a driver that is from the same region. Should a team fail to replace the driver with a fitting one, they must return an amount of money equal to the difference between the money paid out for the specific condition and the money they would have recieved for fulfilling no condition.
A Target Region driver is hired when a driver has the nationality of any nation within the determined Target Region out of a 13 possible regions:
In case of the administration making a factual error regarding overseas territories or similar topics or the map proving unclear, the administration will decide in which region a specific driver belongs. Same also applies to dual nationalites and other fringe cases.
Switching conditions (outside of the abovementioned "move" from a condition to no condition) and/or switching sponsors during the season is not permitted.

Lead DesignerThe lead designer is a key element for every great Formula 1 car. No car can be great, if the man responsible for the final decisions is a baffoon. Therefore, you will need to hire a lead designer to head the design process.
Lead designers can be hired at the start of a season. Any unemployed lead designer can be signed by a team with the team chosen by the designer decided by a RNG weighted on contract length and previous WCC position. Lead designers can only be signed for up to 8 years and cannot be sacked during an active contract. Every even season, the performance of all lead designers are randomly modified.
